“‘Guess That’s It for Us,’ Islamist Terrorists Say
“They all give up now”

Crap propaganda, very thinly disguised as satire.
As long as the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, and Israel are willing to sign paychecks and supply goods, "Islamic terrorists" in the Middle East will be around.
They have served many useful purposes for the states supporting them.
Oh sure, "Islamic terrorists," but you never saw any of them once attack Israeli interests of the interests of the fat corrupt princes of Saudi Arabia or indeed any Americans hanging around – all the obvious natural targets for any genuine "Islamic terrorists."
They all busied themselves attacking what America and Israel wanted attacked, such as the government of Syria.
Gee, I wonder why that would be?
“You don’t bite the hand that feeds you” is the old cliché.
Al-Baghdadi was an American/Israeli asset from the start.
If he is dead, which I tend to doubt, it's only because the states destroying so much of the Middle East had some change of plans. Such men are always regarded as expendable when they are no longer useful or there is some possibility for embarrassing revelations.
Even on the home front, look at Mossad asset Jeffrey Epstein's fate when his usefulness ended and threats existed through new legal proceedings for some truth being revealed.
Look at the doubtful death back in 1991, of British media tycoon, Robert Maxwell, a man acknowledged in Israel to be one of the country’s most important spies ever. And, by the way, his daughter, Ghislaine, was long-time companion and helper to Epstein.
Indeed, getting rid of a man like al-Baghdadi, or pretending to do so, gives idiotic Trump something to crow about.
Cui bono?
